Fuel economy (EPA)
| Model years | Configuration | Combined | City | Highway | Electric range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015–2019 | Electric motor · Single-speed · Front-wheel drive | 17.7–18.1 kWh/100 km | 16.7 kWh/100 km | 18.9–19.9 kWh/100 km | 134–201 km |
Values are the official EPA label figures for each model year, shown as the lowest and highest value for the configuration. Electric models show energy use per 100 km. Real-world consumption depends on driving style, weather and load. Luggage and passenger volumes follow the EPA measuring method and can differ from the VDA figures used in Europe.
EU type-approval data
| Years | Powertrain | Power | Mass | Electric range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019–2020 | Electric | 100 kW (136 PS) | 1615 kg | 224–231 km · 153–158 Wh/km |
Years are registration years. Each range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile of the values reported for new registrations; it is not an average. Mass is the mass in running order. For electric cars the power is the type-approval net power, which can be lower than the peak power in brochures.
